US Olympian Britta Curl-Salemme is expecting a child and will miss the upcoming women's pro hockey season. The PWHL Detroit forward announced her pregnancy on social media, sharing a heartwarming photo with her husband Andrew. The team's general manager, Manon Rheaume, congratulated Curl-Salemme and expressed support for her and her husband as they start this new chapter. This is the first child for the couple, who were married in 2024 and met while attending the University of Wisconsin. Curl-Salemme is the second US Olympian to announce her pregnancy after Kendall Coyne Schofield, who is expecting her second child. The 26-year-old forward had a standout season last year, finishing third in the league with 29 points and setting a single-season record for assists. She has won two gold medals and two silvers representing the US in world championship play. The team and fans are wishing Curl-Salemme and her husband all the best as they prepare for parenthood.
